1998 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)

166,000 miles
4.0 liter straight 6
Dana 30 front and Chrysler 8.25 rear, stock gearing
33x12.5x15 BFGoodrich KM2 tires on 15" Crager D windows (about 60-70% tread remaining)
4.5" Rubicon Express lift modified to remove the lift block and new shocks (less than 5,000 miles)
Smittybuilt XRC front bumper (properly mounted with grade 8 or better hardware)
Quadratec 9,000lb winch (again, properly mounted)
4x KC 130w lights mounted to the roof rack (2x driving pattern, 2x long range spot pattern) - these things are really bright
2x KC 55w rear floods (non-switched, can be used as work lights, backup lights or to illuminate your camp site)
Garvin steel roof rack with shovel, axe and Hi-Lift mounts (shovel and axe convey)
Hidden Hitch 2" receiver (again, properly mounted with grade 8 hardware)

If you are looking for a stock Jeep as a daily driver or a luxury SUV, go on to another ad right now. This XJ is meant for someone who wants to have some fun off-road but still be able to park it on a public street. One neighbor's kid calls it "muddy truck" and his parents call it "that thing" if that tells you anything about her. I'm pretty sure the roof is the only body panel which isn't dented (if you'd like, I can change that for the winning bidder). The front and rear wheel wells have been trimmed to accommodate the 33s. She has a 9,000lb winch to pull lesser rigs from peril and four 130w lights on the roof rack to illuminate the tears in the eyes of Hummer drivers while they are being winched out by a 15 year old truck. You should buy this XJ. She has taken me to some fun places and it's nice to have a rig you can beat on and have it come running back to you like your name is Chris Brown. So, despite the fact that she bleeds awesome, smells like fear and protein and will claw the face of it's enemy's like an off-strip Vegas hooker, I am now selling this she-beast to someone who will love her.

The good: This thing goes anywhere. Motor runs well, transmission shifts without issues and 4wd engages with no problems. Recent work includes basic tune-up (distributor cap, rotor, plugs and wires), complete fluids (oil, trans, power steering and brake fluid), new steering box and lines with JCR steering box spacer, new starter, rebuilt rear springs (removed the lift block and replaced the factory u-bolts and the centering dowels), rear brake shoes replaced. Power locks and windows all work. Every bolt I've replaced has been replaced with a grade 8, equivalent or better. Current VA safety inspection - 100% street legal.

The bad: LCA bushings need to be replaced ($25 in parts and a couple of hours of labor) and the driver's door sags. It drives just fine but it makes a bit of a racket sometimes due to the worn bushings - mainly on hard, low speed turns. It doesn't bother me but you'll have to decide for yourself.

The exterior: This thing is incredible. It looks like you just drove it out of Bartertown on your way to battle the zombie horde. If you don't think she looks awesome, I would recommend checking out a nice CPO Honda Pilot and might want to move on right now. Condition is 10/10 if you're awesome. 1/10 if you think clear coat and straight panels are important.

The interior: My neighbor's kid calls her "muddy truck" for a reason. The interior isn't fantastic. I removed the carpet from the cargo area which helps to clean up better when you need to put your wet tow strap away after pulling a Rubicon from a creek bed (true story). Driver's seat has some tears in the normal spot along the side. Some of the trim is cracked. Everything works but looks a little rough. Condition is 5/10 if you're awesome. 1/10 if you plan on wearing anything other than work clothes in the rig. (This is a Jeep, work clothes means Dickies not Brooks Brothers.)

Right now you're probably asking why I would sell such a kick-ass rig. Well, I have four Jeeps. Not my family, me. Four is too many Jeeps and this is the one my wife doesn't like riding in. She says people stare at us and not in a good way. I try to tell her they are just jealous but she has a hard time hearing me over the crunching sound Prius' make while I drive through them. Needless to say, I like her company and would like her to ride with me because she's funny and she smells nice.

Maserati Levante crossover not Jeep based after all?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Maserati has been teasing its crossover project since 2011, which is when it first showed off the Kubang concept (pictured above). Still, the production version, rumored to be called the Levante, remains a complete mystery. The CUV was first rumored to borrow the platform from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but new rumors indicate that the Italian, luxury crossover might actually take the underpinnings from the Quattroporte and Ghibli.
In a brief interview, Maserati CEO Harald Wester told CNN Money that the Levante wouldn't use Jeep's platform. Motor Trend spoke with an unnamed Maserati engineer who confirmed the rumor. Officially, the company says that no decision has been made.
We can add this to another long list of rumors about the Italian CUV. It was originally supposed to be built at Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant in Detroit. Then, plans were changed to build it in Italy.

AEV Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

After their rented 2007 Hummer H3 failed them during the brutal Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in Morocco, Amy Lerner and her sister Tricia Reina were on a quest to find the most capable production off-roader for their next competition - they chose a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Their next mission was to find a company with the competence to configure it to win. After poring over Internet forums and perusing countless magazines for an outfitter who could meet their demanding requirements, they sent their bright orange JK ("Crush" is the official color) to American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for some modifications.
The Michigan-based team at AEV kept the Jeep's 3.6-liter V6 and automatic transmission stock, but replaced the hood with a tall AEV Heat Reduction Hood and added an AEV Snorkel Kit for water crossings (it serves double-duty as its raised height helps to keep the air intake out of the kicked-up dust on the trail). Front and rear off-road bumpers were bolted in place, and AEV skid plates were added to provide additional undercarriage protection. A pair of IPF-900 off-road lights improve visibility, while a 10.2-gallon AEV Fuel Caddy (located behind the exterior spare) added some range. The suspension was upgraded with a 3.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, and 35-inch Falken Wildpeak A/T tires (LT285/70R17) were mounted at all four corners on AEV's beadlock wheels.

Watch this 650-hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds

Tue, 14 May 2013

Hennessey Performance Engineering has created an HPE650 package for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT fitted with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine. When it leaves the showroom floor it has 470 horsepower and gets from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. When it leaves Hennessey's garage floor after the upgrade it has 650 horsepower - 530 hp at the wheels, according to Hennessey - and gets to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to running the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds.
There's more than just a Roots-type supercharger bolt-on, with ported cylinder heads and high-flow headers among the many changes made to the engine. You can watch this pre-2014 facelift silver model prove its spec sheet on the drag strip in the video below.
